Faded (Vkook Oneshot)

8 years oldTaehyung knows he's not supposed to step his foot anywhere near the temple. Such a shame he's not the type to follow rules. His uncle should've known him better than that. Although he really can't blame his uncle. The temple is quite scary. It emits this eery aura and Taehyung feels goose bumps rising on his arms.

He takes a deep breath, squinting his eyes shut as tight as he can, feet blindly moving up the stairs.

"Hey."

Taehyung does a double take at the sound, toppling backwards and casually lands on his tail bone.

"Ow," the voice continues, amusement obvious in his tone. "That looks like it hurts."

Taehyung stands up as fast as his legs allow to protect his pride. He frowns at the direction of the voice, but it soon disappears as he meets the eyes of the said voice.

Big, blue, animal-like eyes stares back at him and Taehyung pretends that he doesn't see a hint of glint behind those animated eyes.

The eyes of a fox.

The person faces him, fox mask covering his face, and smiles.

Well, Taehyung can't really see if he's actually smiling but he can sense him smiling behind the mask.
